I once foolishly clicked a link in a text message. Out of curiousity: I knew it was spam.
Should have used a link previewer. It went to a porn site that looked....odd. Like one big static image mimicking a porn site, nothing clickable.
This was a couple years back. Always wondered about it. Does it seem remotely likely it was some kind of exploit that may still be running on my phone. Have upgraded since and am fully updated.
Note: THIS exploit is removed by the patch. Am wondering if this is a reasonable worry in general that would warrant wiping the device and restoring photos, messages etc via icloud sync rather than a backup.
- MauranKilom 7y agoAs explained above, this particular exploit only remains in memory until you reboot the device. Unless you visit the site again after the reboot, no trace of it would be left on your phone. If it was indeed this exploit, they had your data at that point already though. No action will undo that, but changing secrets might help.
